Club Continental Wedding Guide

What to know about rooms, the riverside oak grove, and entertainment logistics before you book your wedding at this historic Orange Park resort.

About Club Continental

Club Continental is a historic riverside resort at 2143 Astor Street in Orange Park, set on the banks of the St. Johns River. The property combines a boutique inn with an event venue, and its grounds include a 300-year-old oak tree draped in Spanish moss that's become one of the most photographed ceremony spots in the Orange Park area.

Beyond the wedding venue itself, Club Continental operates as a full resort with 22 guest rooms, tennis courts, three pools, and an on-site restaurant — useful if you want out-of-town guests to stay on property for the whole weekend.

Room & Space Options

Club Continental offers indoor and outdoor options depending on your guest count and the feel you're going for:

SpaceCapacity
Half Club RentalUp to 120 guests
Full Club RentalUp to 200 guests
Oak Grove Ceremony LawnIntimate to large ceremonies

The indoor banquet hall features arched windows and ornate architectural details, while the ceremony lawn beneath the oak tree is the venue's signature outdoor setting.

Why Couples Choose Club Continental

  • Riverfront setting: Wedding photos with the St. Johns River and historic oak as a backdrop.
  • Resort amenities: On-site guest rooms mean out-of-town family can stay where the wedding happens.
  • Full-service catering: On-site catering and event rentals simplify vendor coordination.
  • Historic character: Architectural details that give the reception a distinct, non-ballroom feel.

Planning Your Entertainment

Club Continental's mix of an indoor banquet hall and an outdoor riverside ceremony lawn means your DJ's setup plan needs to account for both spaces if your ceremony and reception happen in different areas of the property. Outdoor ceremony sound under the oak tree has different power and coverage needs than the indoor reception space.

What we'd confirm before your wedding day: whether you're using the full or half club rental, ceremony location and any changeover timing, load-in access with the venue's staff, and power availability at the ceremony lawn.

As a Jacksonville-area wedding DJ company, we coordinate these details directly with venue staff ahead of time so your day-of setup goes smoothly.
